My Fairbanks and Duetz
Fairbanks and Morse model Z enginesWhen I was about ten years old, my father taught me how to operate our rice mills that were powered by Fairbanks and Morse engines. Then he taught me how to run our saw mill that was powered by a huge diesel engine known as Deutz. That was a long time ago. But much more older was when the Fairbanks and Morse model Z engine was manufactured in the 1920s.
Fairbanks Morse Engine, based in Beloit, Wisconsin, USA, is actually the worldwide leader in engine technology and manufacturing. The company was founded in the 1870s. Fairbanks Morse has produced a wide variety of products, including the Fairbanks model Z engine and the first commercially successful gasoline engine in 1893.
The idea of blending gasoline with a certain percentage of another kind of fuel such as ethanol had actually been considered by the company, Fairbanks and Morse Engine a long long time ago. Yet it now appears to be an innovation, some kind of a new technology. But as for me and my Dad, we had been applying this technology since I was a little boy of ten.
